Before & After Bear Rug ( Michelle Nelson's Taxidermy )

[Pathfinder101]

Wow, beautiful work Michelle!  Looks like someone skinned their bear "all by themselves" as my kids would say...  I'll be that drives you guys nuts...

[Michelle_Nelson]

  Thanks for the comments guys!

If I had to guess it was either skinned by someone that just happened to run across a Bear and had never skinned one before.  Maybe a friend was trying to tell him over the phone haw to skin it.

Yeah some times it drives us taxi's nuts to see this kinda stuff.  Especially when it is a repeat thing from the same person you have told a dozen times how to do it and they still do it wrong.  I think it bites the customer more, especially after they get the extra tack on the bill for it.  I probably put 5 - 6 full hours into piecing that thing back together.

I'd call that a big save. That's why I got you working on my rug. So I can expect miracles   Stretch it out to 7 foot.

She could always charge you for 7 ft. and let it go at that?   

[Michelle_Nelson]

I could always change the price for you Ray.  Instead of by the foot we could make it by the inch.

But wouldn't you get more for a 4 ft bear then a 42 inch bear. 

[Ray]

I'm sure at least two of you would have had a heart attack getting that 4ft bear out of there.

Not if I was charging per inch what I am a foot.

Bucklucky, you might want to check under your truck for brake fluid for the next couple of weeks...

[Kain]

Seems like magic to me. That is amazing how you saved that thing.

I just ignore his comments like that.  He just likes to run his mouth.
